military zone
Armed forces territory
A military zone is an area designated for armed forces operations, training, or strategic control.
Access is typically restricted to authorized personnel.
The term covers everything from combat zones in active conflicts to peacetime bases and buffer regions between hostile territories: Civilians were evacuated from the military zone.
A demilitarized zone, paradoxically, often has heavy military presence on either side.
